With January’s freezing temperatures keeping us hibernating inside, the news of a tropical paradise headed for Pier 17 couldn’t have come at a better time. GITANO NYC, under luxury hospitality group, Grupo Gitano, will open its first permanent NYC location and U.S. flagship to the Seaport this year.
James Gardner, Founder and CEO of Grupo Gitano, said:
We are thrilled to start an important new chapter in NYC with our permanent, year-round home at the Seaport, where we will be able to elevate the guest experience to new levels…This is a unique and stunning property, perfect for GITANO NYC. We will blend the energy and creativity of New York with the laid-back luxury of the Yucatán, to transport our guests out of the city to our bohemian, tropical paradise that is delicious, glamorous and fun!
Previously, New Yorkers were only able to get a seasonal taste of this jungle escape at GITANO Island on Governors Island. However, now, the Tulum-born paradise will be a full-scale dining and nightlife experience all year-round.
Guests will be able to roam a ballroom-like main dining room with 30’ ceilings featuring NYC’s largest disco ball and hydraulic glass doors that lead visitors straight to the water. The space will expand to a second floor area where an exclusive club will be “designed to transport guests to the inside of a disco ball.”
The design will be nothing short of leopard-print details and towering palm trees, along with cement tiles imported from Merida, Mexico to fully immerse you into the space.
As expected, the seasonal menus and cocktails will pay homage to its Yucatán roots, sure to be nothing short of delicious. Moreover, the space will feature a full calendar of events and programming to keep you coming back.
